How To Fix VL459 - Batch split for item &1 is already packed. Check the packing data

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 459

• Message text: Batch split for item &1 is already packed. Check the packing data

What causes this issue?

For the item category of the main batch item, an <DS:DE.CHHPV>indicator
</> controls that all the cumulated total quantity of all split items
should be packed for an item with batch management requirement. This
setting is overwritten by the system if at least one
<DS:GLOS.3526BE8FAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>batch split item</> is
assigned to a HU-managed storage location. This ensures that only the
split items are packed (compulsory if you use
<DS:GLOS.35CEB720B3CC735DE10000009B38F982>Handling Unit Management
</>).
The repeat check of the delivery has shown that no batch split items are
assigned to a HU-managed storage location. This means that the system
uses the setting from the item category again, and the batch main item
&V1& should be packed. However, this can only occur once the previously
packed batch split items from item &V1& have been unpacked.

System Response

The system outputs this message in order for you to correct the
delivery. You cannot save the delivery as long as the packing data
contains errors.

How to fix this error?

Call the packing transaction and unpack the batch split items for item
&V1&.

Procedure for System Administrators

If necessary, check your Customizing settings to see whether the item
category is set up correctly. To do this, choose the activity
<DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFMENUOLSDVOLB>Define Item Categories for Deliveries</> in
Customizing for Shipping.
